The hallway situation was potentially deadly. Hexenette had just been bailed out of jail for the bar room brawl violence. She threatened to kill Adalind on the spot. If Hexenette woged and attacked, Nick, Hank and Wu would have defended the targeted victim with deadly force.
Nick clearly was needed at the spice shop. Here is the Grimm Wiki synopsis:
Quote:Juliette arrives at the spice shop, and Juliette asks how they figured out how to make the suppressant, and Hank tells her the books from the trailer. Nick tells her it will work, and Juliette says they would have had to try it on another Hexenbiest to make sure it works. Rosalee hands Nick the jar with the suppressant, and he hands it to Juliette. She then causes the spice shop to shake, and Nick tells her to stop. The shaking stops, and Juliette asks if it looks like she need anyone's help. She tosses the jar into the air, causing it to levitate, and Rosalee tries to grab it, but Juliette throws her against a shelf with her telekinetic abilities. The jar falls to the ground and breaks as Monroe woges. Juliette smacks him across the face, again with her telekinesis, and Hank draws his gun, but Juliette causes it to fly out of his hands. Juliette asks, "When are you all gonna learn that I like who I am?" Nick draws his gun and says they don't, and Juliette woges. She then makes Nick point his gun at Monroe and Rosalee. Monroe gets Rosalee out of the way, and Nick says he can't let go of his gun. Monroe freezes in fear as Nick's gun goes off.Note that when Rosalee hands Nick the suppressant potion to give to Hexenette, she throws a tantrum and smashes it. She attacks Rosalee. She attacks Monroe. Hank draws his gun. Then Nick draws his gun. She ties to force Nick to shoot Monroe.
The level of Hexenette's violence in the spice shop far exceeds her threats of violence in the precinct. Nick demonstrate crisis management skill in both cases. If Nick and Hank were not at the spice shop, she may have gone violent and killed Rosalee and Monroe. Both scenes are examples of the cops risking their lives to save innocent people.

Hi New Guy-
There is no argument in my mind with regard to the spice shop. While I continue to think Nick and Hank had no business being there, Nick drew his gun. In my opinion, Nick assessed the situation and believed there was grave danger. That said, Nick was a complete doofus during that whole incident. Threats and use of a weapon to make Juliette take the potion reveals a hotheaded Nick who wants his own way and is willing to utilize force in order to get it. As a side note, it makes me wonder just how far Nick would go, say, if Rosalee or Monroe suddenly went rogue, but I digress.
Just as foolhardy was Nick's underestimation of his former girlfriend. He knew she could toss him into the next year with a flick of the wrist but chose to ignore the danger.
If we're to believe Nick is capable of assessing grave danger during the spice shop incident, then it's logical he must also be capable of sensing grave danger during the confrontation in the precinct. It's apparent Nick did not sense Juliette to be a grave threat. Otherwise, he would have informed Wu that he needed help, and he would have instructed Adalind to seek safety within the precinct, away from Juliette.
What's even more telling is Adalind's reaction. If she sensed Juliette to be such a grave threat, she would have left Nick's side and sought out protection in another area, probably Renard's office.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
